Yup. Personally, I think:
- Start refactoring Collections and Morphic using Traits - I think
these two packages have a lot of code duplication all over the place
that could be neatly cleaned up in that way;
- Junk Etoys (SqueakLand has made it abundandly clear they're not
interested in us maintaing Etoys; we need to see whether it makes
sense to maintain a separate Etoys just for Smalland(?));
- Bring all unit tests to green. All of them (so junk that SUnit unit
test that is supposed to give red - green is green, not 'all green but
one red and you have to check every time whether it is that Sunit
test'). I can start running Squeak's on Fire to support that process.
- Refactor mercilessly and take no prisoners.

In fact, all of that could be done during 3.9b. After all, refactoring
is not changing behavior, by definition :-).
